Grand Unity Dao Fruit

From Goddess Wangshu, Li Fan learned about the current situation in the Primordial World. The four major forces were maintaining a delicate balance, and the current state of affairs was like sitting on a volcano, ready to erupt at any moment.

Li Fan stood on the side of the Five Divine Emperors. There was no need to worry about the Three Emperors and the Five Elder Lords for now, but the conflict with the Five Divine Beast Clans was constantly deepening.

In the peak showdown, the Five Divine Emperors and the Five Divine Beast Clans would inevitably clash sooner or later; it was a struggle for destiny that could not be avoided.

Although the Five Divine Beasts would collectively crash and burn in the next Dao-Demon Era, in this God-Demon Era, they had bested the Five Divine Emperors.

There is strength in numbers, but too many gods can also spoil things.

Whenever Li Fan thought about how the Dragon Clan alone possessed several Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals, his scalp would tingle.

Li Fan returned to his Cave Mansion to prepare for seclusion. With the branch of the Moon Laurel Tree, he was highly confident that he could advance his Lunar Law to the Venerable God Realm.

Cultivating the Law of World had one advantage: as long as you successfully opened up a world, your cultivation of the law would naturally improve as the world evolved. The downside was that it was extremely slow.

At such times, the help of external forces was needed, such as the Moon Laurel Tree branch. After half an epoch, Li Fan had successfully cultivated the Lunar Law to the Venerable God Realm.

Li Fan felt terrifyingly strong now, with the Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown and the Five Qi Ascending to the Origin.

His essence, energy, and spirit were all perfected. The divisions of the Venerable God Realm were crude; the weakest Venerable God to the strongest Venerable God was equivalent to the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal to the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of later generations.

Li Fan's strength was equivalent to the Great Perfection of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of later generations; his physical body, mana, and primordial spirit had reached perfection.

Ever since Li Fan transmigrated to the Primordial World, his cultivation speed had been incredibly fast, and he was very satisfied with it himself.

The next step was to resolve his own origin issues and charge toward the Grand Unity Dao Fruit.

Li Fan could recover slowly now, but time waited for no one. Without the Grand Unity Dao Fruit, he would have no say in matters and could not even take the stage.

Having transmigrated to the Primordial World, he also wanted to leave behind his own legend, to attain the Primordial Grand Unity Dao Fruit, becoming indestructible through all calamities and untouched by any karma.

This time, he would also cultivate a few more divine abilities to perfect his Sword Dao.

After one hundred thousand years, Li Fan devised a set of combat skills. When encountering an enemy, he would use the Great World Technique to create an illusory Minor World to trap his opponent.

Then, wielding his sword with both hands, he would utilize Sword Dao divine abilities to unleash the Star Law and the Lunar Law in continuous attacks, finishing with the Great Samsara Technique to destroy the body and erase all traces—a complete, one-stop service.

This time in seclusion, he had caused quite a stir, and his own Cave Mansion had collapsed.

Out with the old, in with the new. Although Taiyin Star was good, it already had an owner. There were so many blessed lands in the Primordial World; although most were still gestating, he would surely find a suitable one.

Li Fan wanted to find the legendary Five Immortal Islands of the Sea to establish his own Daoist temple. Legend had it that the Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl, was located within those islands.

This divine object would later be obtained by Hongjun, and after he attained sainthood and passed it down, it would eventually end up in the hands of the outer sect disciple of the Saint's sect, the God of Wealth Zhao Gongming. During the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation, it would be obtained by Buddha Randeng, after which it would shine brilliantly.

The Sea-Calming Divine Pearl could evolve worlds and was the most suitable Innate Spiritual Treasure for Li Fan. If he could obtain it, Li Fan's Dao would be complete.

Besides the five immortal islands, there were other treasures. If he could find them, Li Fan felt he would be even wealthier than Goddess Wangshu.

Travel, travel; they say wealth is sought amidst danger.

First, I must go find Goddess Wangshu to learn about the situation in the East Sea. Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.

Goddess Wangshu sat quietly beneath the Moon Laurel Tree, a picture of serene beauty.

Wangshu: "You've finished your seclusion. Your cultivation speed is quite impressive."

Li Fan looked smug. "I gained a great deal during this seclusion. My Lunar Law has reached the Venerable God Realm. Doesn't the Great Goddess get bored sitting under the Moon Laurel Tree all the time?"

Wangshu smiled and said, "Not at all. While you were in seclusion, I watched a good show. Let me tell you about it."

"The Innate Deity, Thunder God Leize, publicly announced he is joining the Dragon Clan. He was originally a member of the Heavenly Emperor's faction. Everyone from the Divine Court went to Leize to persuade him not to be foolish and join some Dragon Clan."

"The Earth Emperor and the Human Emperor sent their representatives, the Da Luo Venerable Gods—the Zunlu Clan and the Xuxu Clan. Both wanted Leize to join the Earthly Dao Divine Kingdom and the Human Dao Hall of Heroes."

"Those under the three Emperors were certainly very sincere."

"Both the Zunlu Clan and the Xuxu Clan brought out Mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, but in the end, Leize still chose to join the Dragon Clan. I don't know what his reasoning was, but I do know that this time, he has offended the three Emperor factions."

"The Heavens of the Primordial World look down upon the Divine Beast Clans. These clans have made the Primordial World a mess, and the Divine Beasts beneath them are just a bunch of useless rabble."

"Moreover, a large portion of newly born Divine Beasts are born with divine offices. The divine offices in the Primordial World are limited, but all living things are constantly multiplying, and the number of Houtian Beings is increasing rapidly."

"The strength of the Dragon Clan keeps growing. The Ancestor Dragon is a being of Great Divine Powers, while the Dragon Mother, the Candle Dragon, and the newly joined Leize are all Da Luo Venerable Gods."

Li Fan said solemnly, "The Five Divine Beasts, led by the Dragon Clan, are starting to become restless. Goddess Wangshu, you must be on your guard."

Goddess Wangshu looked confident. "Rest assured, the Dragon Clan cannot turn the heavens upside down."

Treating others with sincerity—Goddess Wangshu had always taken good care of Li Fan, though a large part of the reason was that Li Fan was born on the Taiyin Star.

Sincerity is the ultimate trump card. Li Fan also needed allies in this Primordial World, and they shared the same philosophy.

Great God Hongjun had his own four-person team that shone brightly in the later Dao-Demon Era, although the final result was—better a dead friend than a dead me.

Li Fan's thought was that if you can't beat them, join them. Goddess Wangshu was very much to Li Fan's liking; the two of them got along well.

Li Fan asked curiously, "Goddess Wangshu, I am now at the perfection of the Venerable God Realm. Can you tell me about the Grand Unity Dao Fruit and its great power in the Primordial World?"

Wangshu: "The Grand Unity Dao Fruit is the unification of the three bodies: past, present, and future. A Da Luo is all-knowing and all-seeing."

"But there are many Da Luo now, and everyone interferes with one another. What you see is not necessarily the truth, but beneath the Da Luo, all are ants."

"Once you leave the Taiyin Star Domain, be respectful toward Da Luo Venerable Gods. If you speak ill of a Da Luo, they will know."

"In battles between Da Luo, the most feared thing is being sealed. Even if killed by an opponent of the same rank, there will come a day after endless years when they return. If all beings never forget them, the speed of their return will even accelerate."

"To kill a Da Luo, one can steal their Grand Unity Dao Fruit. Of course, this is a form of minor God Merged with Dao."

Wangshu's expression was solemn. "To stain yourself with the Dao Fruit of another—Li Fan, do not do this. One day, you won't even know if you are still yourself. This is irreversible. What belongs to others will always belong to others; this is a form of evil sacrifice."

"Work hard. Perhaps one day you will break through to the Daluo realm. I have high hopes for you."

Li Fan looked on with longing. "Goddess Wangshu, rest assured. Perhaps when I return from this journey, I will have reached the Daluo realm and give you a surprise."

"Goddess Wangshu, I wish to go to the East Sea to gain experience and see what the Dragon Clan is like. The sea should be safer than the Primordial World, right?"

Wangshu said softly, "Go then. The Chaos Demon Gods have been relatively quiet lately. I will send word to the Dragon Clan. Do not go looking for trouble, but do not fear it either."

The Five Immortal Islands of the Sea, here I come.
